It’s hard to believe we’re already in the last quarter of the year, as the amount of daylight dwindles and the leaves begin to cover our lawns, it’s a reminder the end of the year is close-by. The goblins and ghouls have already visited to get their fill of sugar coated goodies and Tom will be soon visiting riding his platter to our tables. It’s also become a tradition for the MGS to close the year with the Maryland Geocaching Society Holiday Swap. This year it will be held at the Community Association Town Hall in Arbutus, Maryland on Saturday December 7th at 1 PM. There will be a potluck lunch/dinner followed by a gift exchange with an MGS twist. So please come out and join us to end another great event year for the MGS and to share some holiday cheer with your fellow geocachers.

Come join the Maryland Geocaching Society in an effort to give back a little to the environment and parks in which we enjoy our hobby of geocaching. The Maryland Geocaching Society CITO 2013 event will be held this year on November 2nd at Assateague Island State Park in Berlin, Maryland.

We will be doing a beach clean-up followed by a potluck lunch on the deck of the concessions center which contains multiple picnic tables and grills.

Additional information can also be found in the MGS Forums I hope to see everyone at the CITO!

The skies have cleared, temperatures have risen and the schools are empty. It can all just mean one thing, summer is officially here and it’s time for the MGS Summer Picnic! This year the summer picnic will be held on Saturday July 13th at Patuxent River Park in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The MGS Summer picnic is our primary fundraising event, it will feature a silent auction with many items from popular geocaching websites, along with generous donations from our fellow members.

All proceeds go towards financing all the MGS events during the year including our most prestigious, CAM (Cache Across Maryland). We will also be announcing the results of the MGS Annual Awards voting. As always there will be lots of great food, raffle prizes and of course some new caches. I hope to see everyone at the park!

If you’ve been living under a rock, you may not know that CAM started today! For more information about CAM, please check out the CAM forums. If you’re ready to get started, the important info can be found in this post. Good luck, and HAVE FUN!

Spring is fast approaching and that can only mean one thing, the Maryland Geocaching Society’s marquee event of the year, Cache Across Maryland (CAM). The countdown continues until Saturday, March 16th at around 0600, at that time the CAM caches will be released and the Geocaching March Madness begins! More information can be found in the MGS Forums. Geocachers will have until Sunday May 5th to complete the statewide trek and find all ten CAM caches, expect to travel well over 1,000 miles in pursuit of your CAM smileys. If you want to dress in style during your journey, custom CAM Gear is available in our MGS Store. Hope to see everyone on the trails beginning March 16th!
